Subject: [webproducers] VIRUS ALERT!!!


>
> I just received an email from a contact in my address book that a
virus had been passed on to her because she was in someone else's
address book.  She said that everyone in her address book is likely to
find the virus in our computers too, and I did find the virus in my C
drive.  I was able to eradicate the virus by following the instructions
shown below.
> The virus which is called jdbgmgr.exe, is not detected by Norton or
McAfee Anti-virus systems.  It sits quietly for 14 days before damaging
the system.  It is sent automatically by 'messenger' and by address
book, whether or not you sent email to any of your contacts.  It appears
easy to eradicate if you follow the instructions below that were given
to me from the contact.
>
> Here is how to check for the virus and eliminate it.  Please do this -
I have copied the following from her email.
>
> 1.  Go to Start and click your 'Find' or 'Search' option
> 2.  In the folder option, type the name ..  jdbgmgr.exe
> 3.  Be sure to search your C Drive and all the sub folders and any
other drives you may have.
> 4.  Click 'Find now'
> 5.  The virus has a teddy bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe    DO
NOT OPEN IT.
> 6.  Go to Edit - on the menu bar - and chose 'Select All' to highlight
the file without opening it.
> 7.  Now go to 'File' on the menu bar and select 'delete.' It will then
go to the recycle bin.
>
> If you find the virus - which I did -  please contact all the people
in your address book so that they may eradicate the virus from their own
address books.
>
> To do this, open a new email message, copy and paste this message, and
send to all your contacts.
>
> Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, but it was beyond
our control.
>
> Please follow this procedure as soon as you get the email.
>
> Sorry,
